A man gets aggressively bumped on the street and it leaves him distraught at the (dis)harmony around him. Through his music and teaching, he searches both for answers and for the frequencies that can correct the disrupted vibrations in his universe.

Every day we must share the planet with people who have fundamentally different beliefs from our own. How do we find harmony in the dissonance? Through Theatre Gargantua’s unique and dynamic blend of storytelling, live music, and physical theatre, Dissonant Species delves into the symphony of human discord that surrounds us.

Dissonant Species

Factory Theatre

WaterFall examines our complex and poetic relationship with the water – the magical molecule, the stuff of life, the source of everything, including our stories.  There has never been life on land without life in the water. Yet the water on our planet, key to virtually every living system, is under threat.

This devised work has been collectively written by the ensemble to unlock our longings, misunderstandings, and fears about what is hidden beneath the surface. Science and mythology are interwoven with Gargantua’s signature mix of theatre, technology, and live music in this imagistic piece that dives into the depths of this most essential of elements.
